Studio Manager Version 2

The DM2000 Studio Manager application has undergone a significant evolution and has been reborn as Studio Manager Version 2.

The hybrid Windows®/Macintosh® Studio Manager application has been rewritten as a host application

which hosts the DM2000 Editor which actually controls the DM2000 console, and which can be used simultaneously

with other editors for professional digital audio gear such as the 02R96 Version 2 digital mixer or the SPX2000 professional multi-effect processor.

Simply connect the console to a computer via its TO HOST port (combined USB/serial), and the computer functions

as comprehensive control center for the entire system. You can even open and close Studio Manager Version 2 windows from the DM2000 console controls, for seamless system integration and optimum operation efficiency in any application. STUDIO MANAGER Version 2 also integrates an advanced GUI for the new VCM and ISSP effects.
